Falklands 40. Malvinas 40

 


Falklands 40. Malvinas 40

(Spanish version below)

2022 marks the 40th Anniversary of the Falklands/Malvinas war. Therefore, I have included a new tab in this website to follow the news on both sides of the Atlantic. There are already several events happening and planned by Argentina, the Falklands/Malvinas and the United Kingdom.

This post will simply present a very brief historical account to put this international difference into context. The Falkland/Malvinas Islands international dispute includes two sovereign states (Argentina and the United Kingdom) and a non-sovereign third territory (Falkland/Malvinas Islands). There is doubt about who first sighted the islands and about the first landing (Ferdinand Magellan and/or Amerigo Vespucci or the English sea captain John Davis) in the 1500s. British and Spanish settlements appear afterwards. Argentina declared its independence from Spain (1816) and then claimed rights over the islands as they were part of the region previously under Spanish dominion (1829).

Argentina and the United Kingdom have had continuous presence and/or claimed exclusive sovereign rights over the islands since then, both bilaterally and internationally with a climax in 1982 with a war between the two.

According to the 2012 census the islands had 2841 inhabitants. Most of them (59%) considered themselves “Falkland Islanders” and a large percentage identified themselves as British (29%).

Bilateral relations have been re-established after the war. However, the sovereignty dispute over the islands continues nowadays. Commerce and trade between the islands and Argentina have been an issue. Because of the lack of negotiations, Argentina has threatened an economic blockade, an idea supported by other Latin-American states with often visible immediate negative results for the islanders.

In March 2013, the Falkland/Malvinas Islanders voted in a referendum whether they wanted (or not) to remain as British Overseas Territory. By a large majority (99.8%) they made clear their wishes to remain British.

Falklands 40. Malvinas 40 tab (news)

Brief account based on:

Falklands 40. Malvinas 40

2022 marca el 40 aniversario de la guerra de las Falklands/Malvinas. Por ello, he incluido una nueva pestaña en esta web para seguir la novedades al respect publicadas de ambos lados del Atlántico. Este año existen varios eventos en curso y planificados por Argentina, las Falklands/Malvinas y el Reino Unido.

Esta publicación simplemente presentará una muy breve reseña histórica a efectos de contextualizar la diferencia internacional. La disputa internacional sobre las Islas Falkland/Malvinas incluye dos Estados soberanos (Argentina y el Reino Unido) y un tercer territorio no soberano (Islas Falkland/Malvinas). Existen dudas sobre el primer avistamiento de las islas y sobre el primer desembarco (Fernando de Magallanes y/o Américo Vespucio o el capitán inglés John Davis) en el año 1500. Los asentamientos británicos y españoles aparecen después. Argentina declaró su independencia de España (1816) y luego reclamó derechos sobre las islas, ya que eran parte de la región anteriormente bajo el dominio español (1829).

Argentina y el Reino Unido han tenido presencia continua y/o reclamado derechos exclusivos de soberanía sobre las islas desde entonces, tanto a nivel bilateral como a nivel internacional con un punto culminante en 1982 con una guerra entre ambos.

Según el censo de 2012 las islas tenían 2841 habitantes. La mayoría de ellos (59%) se consideraban identificados como “isleños de las Falklands” y un gran porcentaje se veía a sí mismos como británicos (29%). Las relaciones bilaterales se han restablecido después de la guerra. Sin embargo, la disputa de soberanía sobre las islas continúa en la actualidad. El comercio entre las islas y Argentina ha sido un problema. Debido a la falta de negociaciones, Argentina ha amenazado con bloqueo económico, una idea apoyada por otros Estados de América Latina con resultados negativos inmediatos visibles para los isleños.

En marzo de 2013 los isleños votaron en un referéndum si deseaban (o no) a permanecer como territorio de ultramar británico. Por una amplia mayoría (99,8%) dejaron en claro su deseo de seguir siendo británicos.

IVR 2022 Special Workshop “The Veil of Ignorance, Crises and Emergencies”

 


Special Workshop

The Veil of Ignorance, Crises and Emergencies

Organizers

Thomas Pogge (Yale)

Jorge E. Núñez (Manchester)

XXX World Congress of the International Association for the Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy (IVR)

Bucharest, Romania| 03 – 08 July 2022

Description

Rawls constructs the original position to reflect what it is thought to be morally relevant and morally right. As part of this original position, A Theory of Justice characterizes of the veil of ignorance in order to avoid any possible interference from factors that can cause bias when applying procedural justice. Rawls explains the rationale: “This ensures that no one is advantaged or disadvantaged in the choice of principles by the outcome of natural chance or the contingency of social circumstances.” (TJ 11)

Our special workshop will be in effect an exercise of ideal theory by application of the veil of ignorance to crises and emergencies broadly defined. In other words, our special workshop aims to discuss if and how ideal theory may help define global justice in specific thematic areas. More precisely, in Rawls, the parties are representatives of citizens who care only about “their” client (though they do not know who this is). They are rational, not selfless or reasonable. In his own words, they “do not seek to confer benefits or to impose injuries on one another; they are not moved by affection or rancor. Nor do they try to gain relative to each other; they are not envious or vain… parties are not concerned to win but to get as many points as possible judged by their own system of ends” (TJ 125).

Consequently, we assume all the participants in our special workshop are rational beings aiming to apply the veil of ignorance so characterized and, therefore, invite submissions that explore (i) how a society disposes itself to respond to crises and emergencies or (ii) to its actual response to some particular crisis or emergency such as poverty, climate change, territorial disputes, terrorism and inequalities. We too welcome submissions that challenge our approach; i.e. whether such extension of Rawls is fruitful, legitimate or even Rawlsian.

Note: Open to all participants. The abstracts and brief academic biography should be submitted by no later than Friday 27th May 2022.

Language: The abstracts must be written in English, and they should be under 500 words. The sessions will be held in English.
